Public Sector being a Guarantor of Job Security is a Myth

I agree that public sector being a guarantor of job security is a myth because if we once selected in a government job and we get permanent we can work peacefully without job tension. But in private sector we need to work too hard, we have no time to spend with our family they will squeeze us till we finish our work. Every talented person in private sector have job tension they have no guarantee for their job. So public sector is 10,000 times better than the private sector.

I don't understand why people say in Public sector there is no challenge!

It it is the case out of 10-20 Lakhs of candidate only 300-500 are selected for the Public sector job, Is that not challenge?

In my opinion the hard work that the people do in private sector for 10 years is less than a candidate hardwork who is preparing for government sector only for a year ot too. If I am right why a public sector employee will work like a dog if he has a hell lot of knowledge than Private sector employee :) :).

I have seen that youths (generally, age between 16 to 25) in India are having this illusion that in average pvt sector pays much better than public sector or government bodies. But in reality after the 6th pay commission of the central govt & pay revision of banks, insurance companies, oil companies etc the pay structure or the gross benefits in public sector or govt bodies are much better in average than pvt sectors.

Moreover govt & public sectors are having pension either under old pension scheme or new pension scheme which is much better than not to have it at all. & it's also true that public sector or govt bodies provide job security at least up to 90%. So govt or public sector job is much better than pvt ones.

I think that public sectors is guarantee a job security offer. However it also limit.

The individual growth of a person. In other hand in private sector one can get high level of success in shorter time. And after working for 20 to 25 year he can retire.

And work for his dream or aim.

I have worked in IT industry in MNC for nearly 5 years and I have observed the work culture very closely.

1. There are lot of opportunities for bright minds but office politics can let you down most of the times (will get poor rating and appraisals due to politics and delay in promotions).

2. Profit earning motto of company will squeeze you till your last drop - you need to work in night shifts, weekends, odd timings, can't take holidays whenever required.

3. Need to update yourself everyday - initially it seems thrilling but after the age of 35 with family responsibilities, studying, updating knowledge after office hours will be tiresome for work and interviews.

4. Work to salary ratio is not very encouraging - the amount of hard work and time you are giving and salary you are drawing is a mismatch many times. Moreover salary increment will be stagnated at some point of time.

5. No Job security - You can enjoy high packages but once the market crashes or company goes into losses, there will be scarcity of job opportunities in the market no matter how talented you are. Moreover employees with high salaries in the organization are slayed first and they find difficult in getting new jobs at the same or higher packages in recession.

6. No time for family - Both husband and wife need to work in metro city if they have to earn sufficient amount for survival, paying heavy installments, children education etc. So no time for children and couples (most of the couples can spend time only on weekends). Its sad but true.

The biggest fear is what if I have taken a loan of 50 Lacs and paying heavy installments of 50 thousand each month and I have been slayed off from the company and didn't find another suitable job in next 3-4 months. Think. What could happen to the family stability and environment.

And moreover wasting 2 hours of your life in traffic everyday in metro cities and no pension after retirement. Gosh. It sucks.

So please my opinion is that work little hard for a year and get a decent government job so that you can spend a quality life for next 50 years.

Hello friends. I think public sector is more secure and good as compared to privet sector. There are many reason like:-

. Jobs are life time (up to 62 years) secure in public sector.

. There is no need to take the tension of jobs.

. In privet sector people always facing the problems of partiality by his boss.

I also believe that in privet sector much salary as compared to public sectors, but if we are always taking to tension of our job and we are not happy with the job, so it is better to work in public sector. So this are men points according to my point of view.

Hi friends,

According to my opinion, public sector job is more secure than private sector job. If person has good learning skills and who wants to grow the private sector job is more better. See, legal richest persons are more in private sector jobs than illegal richest in public sector jobs. Even many skills are important for selecting into public sector job through entrance exams and because of secure jobs these skills are not implementing but in private insecurity jobs persons will learn new things accordingly and implement it for their deadly targets.

At last, involve in learning process you will definitely have secure and respect job in both sectors.

Job security in Government job is not at all a myth. It is very true your life is secured once you get into government job that is why people now a days are fad about it. Even the incentives, salaries, working times everything are flexible with government jobs, but the matter of fact is people in government jobs are misusing, without working full time, with not much heed etc which ultimately leading to decrease in the growth of country. Once you entered into government job you will be secured until you commit a serious problem. So I feel that security by the government Job is not at all a myth rather it is a fact.

Well in case of choosing between private and public I think almost everybody in the country will opt for public sector not only because of job security but it also has many other benefits like incentives, expenses on transport, bigger pay scale compare to private companies jobs, etc. I would also like to remind you of the immense hike of salary after the implementation of sixth pay commission which the private sector lacks to provide to their employee. And also if we have to conduct a survey on this topic I hope even those who are currently holding jobs in private companies will give thumbs up for public in one sense if we are to offer public sector job to them they would thought of leaving their office right away.

Everyone told their point of view about work on public or private sector I agree with all as par me. Wherever we want to work two things keep in our. Mind we make the interest to work on their job, and second thing is we learn from this job not just like that like I'm working whether public or private sector if the employee done such kind of this they will get benefit.
